E. E. BRADLEY FEED ROLL FOR SPINNING MACHINES Filed Oct. 18, 1922 HULL FOR 'Apyliexfion files": October 123, ill-22. Serial! 130. 595,925.,

n may non-0cm: it know] that Ii, Roux-mull. BRADLEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Sloningtou, in lihe county of New London and Staieof Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Feed Rolls for Spinning Machines, of which the following; is a specification.

This invention consists in certain improvemenls in the oons'tructiou, form and arrengen ent 0 lie several parts of the u-o luclinieii hereby novel means i re providally separating the turns of ed for z ui'omziiic the thread as it misses around the feed roll and ifs adjacent member, to prevent the fraying, roughing and breaking of the threml, (his to the sawing of one turn of the flirezul upon another turn lhereo'f.

invention more specifically comprises a holder ti it carries (he feed roll and 2m zuliaeeut member having an inclined surface, which. member may be an idler roller around which 'lhe lliread is passed, the u'iein her being preferably removable so that i uni be ZQklllll renewable,

lreelical eiiihoclimeuls of my invention are rspreseu d in accompanying (ire V- ings, in whi 1 1 represents sicle View of one embodiment of my invention.

Fig 2 represents a lront'view of the some.

i 3 represents a front View of a modil I rrn of echment, and Fi lire;resents a side View of the some,

The lifting; reel of the sleep mosion is cl, noted by 1. This rod carries the usual hook arm 2 for gathering: the threads ljogzetlier as they pass to fiche feed roll. A. suitable holder 3 is seem-eel m the lifting rod 1, w rich holder carries a horizontally arranged feed roll 4 and :1 nu inber having an inc-lineal around which the liliQfiCl is passed, which member is locateal-ovsr soil in proximity lo she feed; roll.

in the embodiment shown in l anal. the member having; the inclined surfaee is shown as a removable inclined idler roller 5 .ioculecl over and in proximity to the feed TOzl. i

is provided with gear 11 & gearglfi on the driving (ler ii s developed into a serves i QI'preVen the Waste 3 I around the driving shaft shaft 13, ine shield 5 wine]; from accumulating 13. This shield also overlaps the inner emls of the feed roll 4 and idler roller 5.

1n theform shown in Figs. Semi l, the member 7 ha 'ing' she inclined surface is located within an inclined fixed tube 8 secureal at 9 to the holder 3, a pin 10' passing through the outer end of the tube serving to remov ably hold $1 e member 7 in position Within the tube. This member '2' may be either fixerl or rotatable. in the presenl instance, it is shown as rotiitaliily mounted in the tube 8,, and it may be a rod. of suitable inalsrial.

It will be seen that by reason oil the group of threads passing arouncl the member haw ing the inclined surface, she turns of the thread will be automatically separated, thus prmenling damage to the thread.

It is evident that various changes may be, uuule in the construction, form anel arrangement oi the several parts without departing- -l'roin the spirit and scope of my invention, hence 1 do not wish lo limit myself so the parfiieulur embodiments herein shown and described, but i,
